🏄🌊 Surf, Ride & Paddle Day - 2000 🚲

Who remembers this day?

Back in 2000, Grovedale College students swapped the classroom for a day of adventure at Surf, Ride & Paddle Day. From catching waves to exploring the outdoors, it was a highlight of the school calendar for many students.

But there's one question we're hoping our alumni can help answer....

📍Where was this year's Surf, Ride & Paddle Day held?

If you were there, we'd love to hear your memories! Share your favourite moments in the comments or tag a friend who might remember the details. 👇

🎺 Band Memories Through the Years 🎶

The Grovedale Technical High School Band created some incredible memories both on and off the stage, including overseas tours to Asia in 1992 and 1998, and Hawaii in 1995.

For those who were part of the band, these trips were about more than music - they were opportunities to perform, travel, make lifelong friendships, and represent our school.

Were you a member of the band? Did you travel on one of these tours?

👇 We'd love to hear your memories in the comments. Tell us what year you were involved, share a favourite story, or tag a fellow band member who might enjoy this trip down memory lane.

🌟 Why an Alumni Program Matters 🌟

Our alumni play a powerful role in supporting and inspiring the next generation of Grovedale students.

Inspire 💡
Alumni give students a real insight into life after school - sharing their journeys, exploring different pathways, and opening students’ eyes to careers they may not have known existed.

Connect 🤝
We help connect students with alumni who have experience in areas they’re interested in - creating opportunities to learn more about industries, careers, and real‑world pathways.

Prepare 🎓
By learning from the experiences of those who have gone before them, students can feel more confident and better prepared for future study and career decisions.

We’re proud to be building a community that brings past and present students together in meaningful ways. 💙

Alumni In Action | Victorian Law Week

Last week, as part of Victorian Law Week, we had the pleasure of welcoming back Grovedale College alum Rohan Harris (Class of 1992). Now Chair and Principal Lawyer at Russell Kennedy with over 30 years in law, Rohan shared his journey with our Year 11 VCE Legal Studies students.

It was an inspiring and engaging session that brought real‑world insight into the legal profession, alongside great advice, such as encouraging students to take every opportunity and make the most of it.

Thank you, Rohan, for inspiring our students and marking Law Week in such a meaningful way. 👏

A look back at Grovedale College - Class of 1986!

It’s hard to believe… 40 years since this year group graduated! Can you believe it?

In the 1986 Year in the Life booklet, the Principal shared words from guest speaker at the Year 12 Graduation, Professor Diane Bell:

“Have faith in yourself and your ability” and “never stop questioning.”

Advice that still feels just as relevant today.

Were you part of the Class of ’86, or around that time?

👇 We’d love to hear from you - share your memories or tag someone who was there!
